Qi Yue said, "Let's wait for the next time then. I'll treat everyone to a meal at noon."
"Thank you, I won't stand on ceremony then." Li Lan asked curiously, "You're making an operating system? Actually, I've always been curious about one thing. We don't lack money. Is it because China doesn't have enough intellectual resources?
Why can't they make their own operating system? "
He was a computer science student and was limited by his knowledge. He did not know much about business, so he was not afraid of being rude.
"There are many types of operating systems. The operating systems installed on different machines can range from simple to complex. It can range from embedded systems for mobile phones to large-scale operating systems for supercomputers.
I'm talking about Mainframe, AS400, UNIX, and other platforms. "
AS400, UNIX, and other platforms, "Wen Qibai said with a smile." You're probably asking about Windows. I'm not very good at it, but I can talk about it.
It's not difficult to make an operating system. The difficult part is the construction of the entire ecosystem. For example, if I developed it, there would be a lot of entertainment, communication, office, and many other applications. I need to develop software for this platform. The simplest one is that the user can't even download Penguin software or financial software. Do they even know how to use it?
For example, Apple's OS?
The system looks like it, but to many people, it's a brick. It's 3D max, and it's not even CAD friendly. "
Li Lan smiled and said, "But many foreign companies are private companies. They have also experienced the process of building something from nothing. It's just a matter of time. Why can't they take it slow? "
He was still a little unconvinced by Wen Qibai's explanation.
Wen Qibai said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that building an ecosystem requires the strength of the entire country.
Take the current Internet environment in the US for example. They are a capitalist country, and the government rarely participates. However, they have the military and NASA.
A few decades ago, the US moon landing program was also a manifestation of the strength of the country.
Including the current Internet, it was developed by the military-led Arpanet. Among the big companies in the US, from Microsoft to Oracle, IBM, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Google, which one of them can break away from the military?
They boast and say that they have integrity, but they only dare to go against the government. If the military wants them to go east, they dare not go west.
Therefore, the division of labor within the United States had always been very clear. The government had always been responsible for harmony and warmth. Mr. Der wasn't just talking.
If the government can't do their job properly, then the military will step in to enforce discipline. "
Wen Qibai's playful words amused Li Lan. He smiled and said, "Thank you. I've learned a lot. I still don't know anything. I'll learn more from you in the future."
Wen Qibai said, "I'm just spouting nonsense. It's good that you don't mind. Actually, as a Chinese, it's very frustrating to be held back by others in the industry. Of course, I want to achieve something, but I have to act according to my capabilities. Only when all the computer and internet industries in China improve together will the environment change. Otherwise, it's useless to rely on just one or two companies."
Qi Yue smiled and said, "If money could do it, I think Uncle Li would have done it long ago."
Li Lan said, "Yes, sometimes it's not about money."
His father had worked so hard to build BMW, but it was still a third-rate international brand. It could not even enter the top 10 in China, and the only company that could be praised was BMW Heavy Industries.
BMW had built BMW Heavy Industries unintentionally because one of its suppliers went bankrupt. Out of friendship, they took over the factory. Coincidentally, this factory was in the excavator and road roller business.
They just did it casually, and they could not stop the momentum of their development. They sat on the throne of the world's top sales of construction machinery.
It was considered an unintentional act.
As for BMW, it was still half dead. In 2011, BMW was actually losing money after deducting BMW Heavy Industries' revenue.
Even now, he could still remember the expression on his father's face as if he was about to vomit blood.
Also, there was the semiconductor industry. His father had invested almost everything into it. His father controlled more than half of the world's semiconductor industry, and his wealth was rolling in.
However, his father was not happy about this.
China's semiconductor industry had benefited a lot because of him, but there were no substantial changes in the industry!
An industry can't rely on just one person to make it big!
That was why his father often sighed, "China's industrial foundation and system are still too weak. Sometimes we have to belittle ourselves."
Li Lan had not taken a sip of the tea that his secretary had brewed for him. Wen Qibai saw this and pushed the teacup towards him. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please have some tea."
"Thank you. You don't have to be so polite." Li Lan's impression of Wen Qibai was getting better. He felt that Wen Qibai was a capable person, and Li Lan respected capable people. He flipped through the documents on the table again. Even though he was flipping through them casually, he was still shocked.
On the surface, a technology company that mainly dealt with domain names actually controlled so many companies. Many of them were well-known and were often seen in the news media.
Wen Qibai and Qi Yue stood beside him and didn't disturb him. While he was in a daze, Wen Qibai asked, "Mr. Li, do you have anything else to say here?"
Li Lan stood up and said, "You're too polite. Don't treat me like an outsider. Go do what you need to do, don't worry about me. Just call me when it's time for lunch."
Wen Qibai said, "Coincidentally, I'm preparing for a global partner conference, and there are some things that I need to coordinate."
Li Lan nodded and smiled. "I'll take my leave then."
Qi Yue was the only one left in the office. She refilled Li Lan's cup of tea and asked with a smile, "Do you want to bring your girlfriend over? If you neglect her, you won't be able to explain yourself when you get back. "
Li Lan did not like people testing him, so he said, "Thank you for your concern."
Qi Yue's expression froze when she heard Li Lan's abrupt reply. She smiled and said, "Sorry, this is your private matter."
Li Lan thought of how attentive she had been to him for the past two days, so he smiled and said, "She's just my friend. She might be in trouble for the time being, and I'll try my best to help."
Qi Yue said, "If you need anything, just tell me. I'll do my best."
Li Lan said, "Find her a career that's suitable for her. I'll pay for the funds."
Qi Yue did not expect Li Lan to be so straightforward, so she smiled and said, "I can tell that she doesn't seem to be highly educated and doesn't have much experience in the workplace. Mr. Li, I'm not trying to belittle her. I'm just analyzing her strengths and weaknesses."
Li Lan nodded. "You're right. Is there anything suitable for her?"
It was not good for a man and a woman to live together. He wanted to make arrangements for her as soon as possible so that he could fulfill his promise as soon as possible.
Qi Yue said, "I have the funds. Is there anything that can't be arranged? Mr. Li, if you trust me, can you leave this matter to me? "
Li Lan did not have much social experience. Since Qi Yue was helping him, why wouldn't he be willing?
He smiled and said, "That's exactly what I'm looking for."
Qi Yue said, "Mr. Li, I'll give you an answer tomorrow. However, do you have any requests? Are you going to invest or tell me? "
It was not uncommon for a man to do charity for a woman.
